Wheel advice for 2000 TJ
I am looking to get a little more aggressive in my off road adventures this
spring and summer. I am currently using my original stock canyon wheels and
33" All Terrain BFGs (via 3" suspension lift). A few times I have read in
the newsgroup here that you should use a steel rim vs. aluminum because
steel will bend where aluminum will break. So, if I am to do some more
serious off roading, should I look at replacing my original canyon wheels
with something made of steel? If so, what would you recommend and where is
a good place to purchase the steel wheels (preferably online)?

Re: Wheel advice for 2000 TJ
Why do you want to buy new wheels "preferably online". Why not support the
local tire/wheel dealer? Why would you not support your friends and
neighbors who work there and pay taxes locally?
My "Wheel advice" is to get down to your local tire dealer and order the
wheels you need. That's what I did. I just purchased 5 wheels for my '62
****** at a great price, with mounting and balancing included in the
negotiated sale price. Buy local for the best price, best value and best
service.
Since when does "serious offroading" mean that you'll likely be bending or
breaking rims? I consider myself a serious offroader but I've yet to abuse
my vehicles to the point of damaging rims.
